Irish fighter Conor McGregor has told his fans that Dustin Poirier is"a hell of a competitor" after the American defeated him overnight on Saturday.
Poirier threw a series of quickfire punches to secure a technical knockout 2 minutes and 32 seconds into round two at UFC 257 at Fight Island in Abu Dhabi.Hours after the fight finished, McGregor wrote on twitter:"Thanks for the support everyone! Was not my night/morning in there but a great contest to improve on. I'm excited at the blockbuster trilogy I now have on my hands. Dustin is a hell of a competitor and I look forward to going again. God bless us all, happy Sunday.
Thanks for the support everyone! Was not my night/morning in there but a great contest to improve on. I’m excited at the blockbuster trilogy I now have on my hands. Dustin is a hell of a competitor and I look forward to going again. God bless us all, happy Sunday ❤️Victory for Poirier came almost seven years after McGregor won their first clash via a first-round knockout. McGregor retired from UFC three times since that fight.
"I felt stronger than him, but his leg kicks were good. I didn't adjust," he said."My leg was badly compromised, I've never experienced those low calf kicks, and I wasn't as comfortable as I needed to be. "I have no excuses. It was a phenomenal performance by Dustin. I have to dust it off and come back. I need activity, you don't get away with being inactive in this business."
